About the book:
From the number one bestselling author of The Notebook and Two by Two comes an unforgettable tale of enduring love. There are times when destiny and love collide. This story is one of them. Hope Anderson is at a crossroads. At thirty-six, she’s been dating her boyfriend, an orthopedic surgeon, for six years. With no wedding plans in sight, and her father recently diagnosed with ALS, she decides to use a week at her family’s cottage in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to ready the house for sale and mull over some difficult decisions about her future. Tru Walls has never visited North Carolina but is summoned to Sunset Beach by a letter from a man claiming to be his father. A safari guide, born and raised in Zimbabwe, Tru hopes to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his mother’s early life and recapture memories lost with her death. When the two strangers cross paths, their connection is as electric as it is unfathomable . . . but in the immersive days that follow, their feelings for each other will give way to choices that pit family duty against personal happiness in devastating ways.

Illuminating life’s heart breaking regrets and enduring hope, EVERY BREATH explores the many facets of love that lay claim to our deepest loyalties — and asks the question, How long can a dream survive?

My view of the book:

Gita wisdom through quotes by Chaitanya Charan is a book based on spiritual knowledge.

The book contains some of the finest quotes of gita which truly can help an individual in life.

Bhagavad gita is one of the oldest and ancient tradition of hindu culture that has all the knowledge one needs to learn in life.

These quotes are written in such a way that one could easily understand the meaning. You can read one quote each day and learn something new about the aspects of life.

The knowledge of gita is supreme of all and this book is a really nice representation of it.

We all are really busy with our messy lifestyles that we have no time to read the complicated verse of gita and understand it. This book is its simplest form and anyone can read it.

One of my favorite quotes from the book is “Cultivate a tender heart, but cover it with thick skin.” which means its not bad to have a tender heart but you shouldn’t let everyone play with it.

Overall this book is a very nice way to learn the wisdom of gita. All the quotes are really inspirational and have a very fine meaning. Every quote teaches a new lesson about life which can help an individual learn different aspects of life and accept the fate of life.

What happens when a clone of Yamraj, the Lord of Death, gets emotional and upsets the power structure in Devlok, the realm of Gods?Yamraj Number 5003 is the story of one of the thousands of cloned Yamrajs in Mrityuloka. The Yamrajs are supposed to carry out their duties like robots, but by some fluke one Yamraj—code-named #5003—has a ‘manufacturing defect’ by which he can think and feel, making him ‘different’. He begins to question the status quo, shaking the very foundation of the power structure in Devlok, making the divine trinity—Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar—jittery. What happens when they decide to take action against the erring Yamraj? Woven with humour, this multilayered novel will move the readers as well as entertain them. Originally published in Odia and translated into Assamese, this hugely popular novel is being published in English for the first time.

My view of the book:

Yamraj number 5003 by Mrinal Chatterjee is a children’s book with a really good moral.

The plot of the story is about the cloning process of the yamraj in mrityuloka. The story tells us that there are so many yamrajs in the mrityuloka because as the population is increasing demand for yamraj is also increasing and not only one yamraj can handle everything that’s why yamraj is even cloned to do all the work. Brahma is the in charge of creating the new yamraj. One day Brahma was making yamraj 5003 and he was very busy so he left the room with yamraj 5003 alone and went away. At the same time when he left Narad came to visit him. He saw that nobody was there in the cloning room and there was a yamraj in the machine and a human body was lying near it on the table. He thought what would happen if he transferred some of the human cells in the yamraj’s body. He thought if waiting for Brahma but couldn’t hold his curiosity so he quickly transferred some of the cells in to the yamraj’s body. At the very moment Brahma came back and saw what Narad has done to Yamraj 5003. He quickly tried to extract the cells back but some of them got stuck the brain of Yamraj 5003. The human laying there turned out to be a poet. Now Yamraj 5003 had the cells of a poet. Some time passed by without anybody knowing about this glitch but soon the yamraj starred showing different behavior by questioning the whole concept of death and shaking the structure of devloka. Finally, the trinity- Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh had to take action against this mess creating yamraj.

The story is written in a very nice way with lots of humor and fun stuff to tell which makes it so much interesting to read. The way in which the very Powerful and tough god of death is shown having feeling is really funny.

I used to watch such cartoons and this story even gave me mood of nostalgia as i was reminded of my childhood days.

Overall its an awesome work and you’ll definitely like reading it. This book has some meanings along with humor. It tells us that how our smallest mistake can create a big problem and how the hardest and toughest person can even have feelings.

This book is about finding your place in this big world which is full of people from different backgrounds.

We believe that happiness is that we are just a tiny speck on a huge planet and that we need not take ourselves seriously. But this thinking is wrong we are still unaware about the place we hold on this planet. We are Still not understanding that it takes nothing to join a crowd but it takes everything to Stand alone.
